4WD will get you going on the flat, but you're then in a two-tonne brick with pretty much zero control.

With winter tyres the D5 is an awesome snow monster provided the snow isn't deeper than the front bumper. I had winters on 20 inch wheels on mine and it was like there was no snow at all.
I can't afford new alloys or tyres at the minute otherwise I would.

The cheapest I have seen a winter tyre for 20 inch rims is £250 a tyre and there was only one option to choose from.
